"Stoney's has successfully met all the terms to reinstate that lease. We have a great comfort level that it will have a fall opening," said Stacey McNeill, Casino Aztar's director of marketing.

She said Stoney's delay opening hasn't hurt the casino. However, she said filling the space, one of the largest in Aztar's entertainment district, is critical.

An affidavit by Tropicana Entertainment president and CEO Scott Butera in support of the lawsuit said the estimated rental value of the premises is $57,350 per month plus other rent for common area maintenance charges, taxes and other items. Tropicana owns Casino Aztar.

"We just want to get someone in there and get it open. We want to add a new entertainment option," she said.

In addition to a large dance floor, the club will feature live bands and DJs, full-service bars, coin-operated pool tables, a mechanical bull and a full-service restaurant, according to Aztar. It will also have a VIP area with bottle service and a private lounge with premium seating.

In addition to a Stoney's Rockin' Country in Las Vegas — which it bills as "the largest country nightclub in Las Vegas" — Stoney's also operates a bar called Stoney's North Forty in the Santa Fe Hotel and Casino, which is also located in Las Vegas.

Company officials did not return a call seeking comment on the opening.
